DeLovely

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your weekend was well and filled with craftiness! I have been absolutely blown away by our Facebook Fan page and all of the wonderful creations that you all are sharing! In fact, I sat down on Saturday night to take a little stroll through the gallery of photos and couldn’t help but want to create myself. I was delighted to find out that I’d be working with Today’s Steal, theCosmo Cricket Mini Deck Creative Kits.

I LOVE these collections by Cosmo Cricket. I don’t know if it’s the fact that the 6×6 pads are all mini print or if it’s the great colors or fun chipboard, but I do know that they are brilliantly fun to work with….especially for creating cards.

Generally I will make a card…or two, but I was having so much fun making cards with the Cosmo Cricket collections that I had to make two for EACH collection!

I wandered through my Silhouette card designs and settled on a basic sketch for this weeks MCM, with a pocket on the front and a pull out tag, which should be easy to duplicate even without a die cutting machine.

I love how versatile a card like this can be. In fact this type of card you could leave blank or you could add a sentiment to the pocket or tag as the need arises.

If there is any one of these Cosmo Cricket collections that screams spring to me it’s the DeLovely papers. It gives me hope that the world *will* warm up!

The chipboard that comes with the DeLovely collection are beyond cute. Look at what a fun and simple card I made using some of the chipboard pieces.

The Material Girl Mini Deck and Chipboard pieces were equally delightful to create with. The mix of patterns and prints are truly inspiring!

The last collection offered today is the ‘Wanted’ Mini Deck and Chipboard pieces. I didn’t do a card using the sketch for this week as I didn’t see that it really fit the papers and theme of this kit. Good news is that these papers, just like the other collections made for some incredibly simple and fun cards!

My little guys were never into the whole ‘Cowboy’ theme, but using these papers sure makes me wish that they had been! At least I will be able to send along these cards to some little Cowboy to brighten his day!

So how has the challenge of sending out cards gone for you! Leave a comment to let us know how it’s going! Just think of the joy that you can bring to someones day!
